- - listened to interesting talks
- - posted some pictures and choice quotations
- announced my impending resignation from my job
- solved a problem in some perl code at work:
- - two bugs were interacting in such a way as to make each other invisible
- - because data was being duplicated in places where it wasn't supposed to be
- - and the duplication of information made the bug harder to track down
- - for the same reasons that non-normalized databases are vulnerable to errors
- and now I have a project idea: a Data::Doctor module
- - that looks through people's data structures
- - for telltale signs of redundancy and encourages good data hygiene
